From the map point of view, because the entire border is not a straight line, the Kuaixu Desert also has strong or weak desertification in the interior, so it is a zigzag border. Among them, Guloulan is one of the places that goes deep into the desert, and there are countless
Thousands of miles wide, named after the ruins of a former human city.
Ancient Loulan is an ancient desert country. However, with the depletion of water sources, severe desertification, and the rampage of undead creatures, this ancient country eventually disappeared in the long river of history. Human beings moved inward step by step, and in the process, they intermarried and multiplied with other ethnic groups.
, now there is no longer the term Loulan people, and they have become the people of Qin, Yue and other countries.
What Yanmen Quanzhen is responsible for guarding is basically the once huge territory of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, which exists as a barrier for humans in the northwest region.
The Loulan City he is going to now has little connection with ancient Loulan. It is the only depression in the area with a water source, which can barely provide basic living conditions for humans. Therefore, a certain number of residents have gathered here to use the desert
According to book records, there are only a few thousand people making a living. Such a number of people is not even as big as a village in the prosperous places in the southeast and southwest.
The harsh living environment has created completely different customs and customs, which also have their own unique charm.
After roughly determining the direction, Hou Zi lowered his height. He wanted to take a closer look at the terrain below. It is said that experienced locals can accurately find the path from the distribution of the large and small convolutions of the dunes. This exotic style is also another
An experience.
Hou Zi is a person who likes to experience different natural environments, so this place doesn't seem too bad to him?
Such thoughts may only be felt by cultivators, because they don't need to worry about lack of water.
When he clarified his direction, lowered his altitude, and began patrolling at a low altitude of a hundred feet, the scenery and figures on the ground began to become clearer.
Among the countless hills that are half soil and half sand, a camel caravan is meandering forward.
There is a small camel team of more than fifty camels, with more than ten people in the team, and the remaining camels' backs are piled high with goods; the characters are all wrapped up in large burqas from beginning to end, making it impossible to distinguish between men, women, old and young.
, only a series of crisp camel bells echoed in the vast dry sand dunes, carried far and wide by the wind.
This must be a caravan from a nearby city heading to Ancient Loulan, because there is no second place for humans to stay in this direction. Considering that the closest city to Ancient Loulan is more than a thousand miles away from the map, such a journey is not suitable for mortals.
You can imagine the hardship.
He wanted to see the folk customs here and experience the dangers of this journey for himself. For him, everything here is still just an idea on paper. Everything needs to be experienced personally from now on.
As for when to report to Yu Zhengxing's place, it doesn't matter whether it's a few days earlier or a few days later. The purpose of the Sikong Mansion is to get him to leave Yujing, so it probably doesn't matter if he travels on the road for a year.
He quietly landed not far in front of the camel team. Because the sand dunes blocked the view, no one could see how he appeared; then, he walked forward step by step, keeping the speed slightly lower than
The speed of the camel caravan.
It is said that the folk customs here are strong and simple, but I don’t know if it is true?
As soon as he landed, he discovered that this place had an unexpected advantage for him, that is, his Earth Escape was at home in this desert environment. It was much more effective than in Lizhihai, and it was also an unexpected advantage.
result.
………………
The camel team trudged forward in the dust and flying sand. The man on the camel was wrapped in an airtight burqa. His body rose and fell with the movement of the camel. He seemed relaxed and natural, but his eyes never stopped.
By observing the surrounding environment.
In this season, in such an area, although travel is still very dangerous, it is still barely feasible; human monks from the direction of Ancient Loulan have been endlessly killing and searching for undead creatures in this area, and they have finally managed to survive for hundreds of years.
It blocks the basic living space of human beings and blocks the undead from moving south. Therefore, most of the dangers come from the environment itself.
This situation is relatively controllable within Loulan City, but if it occurs outside Loulan City, it is a different kind of risk.
Undead creatures also have memory and wisdom, and they also know that this barrier is not easy to mess with, and they are in a stalemate. But I heard from the Qi Practitioners in Loulan City that in recent decades, the invasion of undead creatures has
The intensity began to increase again, and the human monks also felt that their strength was struggling...
This is something that Qi Practitioners should consider, not something that mere mortals like them can worry about.
After turning around a sand dune, the terrain in my memory has not changed much. Even though the dunes have slightly changed their appearance due to the erosion of wind and sand day after day, for them natives, they will not lose their way.
But this time, there was something more in front of him. A man was walking on the sand on foot. He had no burqa to cover him, and low-top boots were completely inappropriate for this place. He had a sword on his back, but no luggage could be seen.
A sand camel jumped up from behind and kept pace with him, and a slightly childish voice came from a short body under the burqa,
"Third uncle, he is a loyal man!"
Qi Practitioners is a name given to practitioners in the northwest region. They don't know much about cultivation, so they simply divide practitioners into two categories. Those who can fly are called Qi Practitioners, and those who cannot fly are called Qi Practitioners.
Most of the Qi practitioners coming and going are from outside the country, while those crawling on the ground are mainly northwest locals who have just entered the practice.
Seeing that his third uncle was still hesitating, the young man was a little dissatisfied, "Let's give him a sand camel. We don't know how long it will take if we keep going like this."
The man stopped his nephew. The young man was too impulsive and not cautious enough.
"Wait a minute! Let's take a closer look first. Xiao Li, please be careful later and have your bows and arrows ready!"
"Third uncle, is this unnecessary? This man walks with normal bends in his legs and feet, and has a shadow. Moreover, if it is an undead creature pretending to be it, it should wear a burqa instead of ordinary mainlanders' attire..."
After all, the boy still obeyed the words and told the camel team to be on the alert. Children who grew up in the northwest do not need to be taught these things. They are influenced by their ears and eyes.
The adult men in the camel team began to drive the camels forward, each holding a bow and knife. In the vast desert, they relied not on luck, but on their own caution and courage.
The camel caravan slowly approached from behind, and the bow and arrow were pointed far away. The lone traveler turned his head. He had an unfamiliar face, but he was undoubtedly human.
Before the man could give the order, the young man shouted cheerfully, "Visitor from afar, do you need a camel hump? And the most delicious milk wine in the desert?"
